Today marks 1000 days of conflict in Sudan.

Millions of lives disrupted. Families force to flee. Women facing heightened risk. Children growing up amid violence and food insecurity.

Sudanese communities need protection, aid and sustained global attention now.

🚫 The world is not an equal place. Especially for women and girls.

But when she has what she needs, she lifts entire communities. When she thrives, we all thrive.

In 1945, a group of people sprang into action as millions faced poverty after WWII. That year, CARE was born with one goal: help those in need.

80 years later, we've grown, working with partners & communities in 120+ countries saving lives, fighting poverty & advancing equality.

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? 🚨 At #COP30, women remain only a fraction of world leaders & government heads taking part. When women’s insights are missing, climate action becomes LESS fair & effective. Women deserve both a seat & a genuine voice.

A graphic showing why the logic behind cutting $2.7 billion from foreign aid in Canada's federal budget is misplaced. Text reads "Aid makes the world safer—for everyone. Foreign aid helps stop problems before they spiral into crises—like pandemics, climate disasters, mass displacement, and wars. Every $1 spent on prevention can save up to $60 in military intervention costs. 2: Aid strengthens Canada’s economy. Foreign aid helps create markets for our goods. On average, for every $1 Canada invests in aid, we get $1.19 back through exports. Take Vietnam: we now earn more in exports every two years than we spent in 35 years of aid. 3: Aid builds Canada’s credibility. Canadians believe in fairness, compassion, and doing our part. Foreign aid shows the world what we stand for and helps Canada be a respected voice on the global stage. 4: Aid was a modest part of the budget. Foreign aid made up just 0.3% of our gross national income. That’s about 2 cents for every tax dollar."

Yesterday, the government announced the federal budget—and cut $2.7 billion from #ForeignAid. They say the money is needed to strengthen Canada’s security and economy.

But here’s the thing: Cutting foreign aid actually puts that at risk. #Budget2025 #AidWorks
